Once upon a time, there was a man who was very helpful, kindhearted and generous.
He used to help everyone without asking anything to pay him back. He will help someone because he wants to and he loves to.
One day while walking to buy medicines for his long time illness, he saw a purse. He picked it up and noticed that the purse was empty. Suddenly a woman with a policeman shows up and gets him arrested.
The woman kept on asking where did he hide her money but the man replied, 'It was empty when I found it'. The woman yelled at him 'Please give it back, It's for my son's school fees'. The man noticed that the woman really felt sad, so he handed all his money. The man said, 'Take these, sorry for the inconvenience'. He could say that the woman was a single mother. The woman left and policeman held he man for further questioning.
The woman was very happy but when she counted her money, she was shocked to see that it was doubled. Another day while woman was going to pay her son's school fees towards the school, she noticed that some skinny man was walking behind her. She thought that he will rob her, so she approached a policeman standing nearby.
He was the same policeman, who she took along to inquire about her purse. The woman told him about the man following her, but suddenly they saw that man collapsing. They ran at him, and saw that he was the same man whom they arrested few days back for stealing a purse.
He looked very weak and woman was confused. The policeman said to the woman, 'He didn't return your money, he gave you his own money that day. He wasn't the thief but hearing about you son's school fees, he felt sad and gave you his money'.
Later, they helped man stand up. Man said to woman 'Please go ahead and pay your son's school fees, I saw you and followed you to be sure that no one steals your son's school fees'. The woman was speechless.
Moral: Don't be judgmental. When you judge others, you do not define them; you define yourself
